My front room is a mix of pumpkin and citrus with a hint of berry. Last night I steamed pumpkin to use for various fall delights. And this afternoon I made two kinds of fruity oat bars, raspberry and blueberry. Yes, it's that time again, Bake Sale time. Our bake sales are unlike any other bake sale I have ever been to. They are themed (this year's is America) with decorations to match. Foreigners and even a few outside businesses like the Bridge Cafe and My
Girl Cafe donate time, money and many sweet and savory labors of love to this cause. Tables are filled almost to overflowing with goodies. People (foreigners and students alike) start lining up outside the door a good half hour before the sale begins. (It's one of the best places to introduce your students to purely Western foods!) And it is a rarity that anything is left over. From cookies to soups and cider to coffee, you can find something to satisfy your sweet or savory taste buds and make your heart feel a little warmer even if you're spending a lot more than you would in a normal day. That's because all proceeds from the bake sales benefit orphanages and orphan camps (like Bring Me Hope).
And now for those dirty dishes...
